Huh. I now see the "je" where before I saw it as a "k". And I did think there were too many vowels on the end of "mushchini," but figured Russians used more vowels than Ukes... meh. It's kind of pointless. Some sort of wordplay or cleverness would have been appreciated and voted.

Lol. Yeah, there isn't a lot of cleverness going on. I just like the simplicity of russian. I was going to add more, but I don't think it's gonna happen this week :/

Most people don't like russian anything or russians for that matter on this site, so it's not like I expected any good comments.

Are you saying my design is pointless or just the argument you're making?

Meow, kitten! I was not personally insulting you, so please to be sheathing your claws.

I was saying that the words were pointless. My point was that if you're going to do a Russian band design and incorporate cyrillic text, it would be worth making the text something clever rather than banal. "Men and Women from Russia" is boring and pointless. If you know Russian, then using that knowledge to create a funny or clever Russian band name would have been fantastic. Especially for the balalaika, domain of the sodden poet's steppe-dreaming Cossack soul.

Lol. Okay. I was fearful if I made any jokes that it would be rejected for being politically incorrect or something.

When I saw the theme this week (a sweet theme for once) I was upset with myself for not having started sooner. Heh, yeah, I wanted to sketch like four heads on paper then put them at the bottom and add more like band related stuff but I didn't do it in time. Maybe next time! I like russian themed everything but I don't exactly have a sense of humor either. I guess that's the joke! hoho.
